I think this is one of those books that you need to read yourself to get why it is such a gorgeous story. For such a simple story, it packs a punch that will you reeling for hours after you put it down. George is such a sweetie. There is no other way to put it. She has such a raw and relatable personality, and her obsession with Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web made my heart ache. She reminded me so much of myself at this age - questioning everything and finding solace in my favourite book characters. There was not a single moment when I was not rooting for her but it was Kelly who stole the spotlight in my opinion. Everyone deserves a friend like her. She was so, so supportive and kind. I love her reaction to George’s confession and the ending scenario made me tear up. It was beautiful.

This is undoubtedly a story that everyone needs to read at least once in their life. Yes, it is narrated by a ten-year-old but it is no less accessible to older readers, even adults. It holds such a special message at its heart but it never - honestly not once - shoves it down your throat. This is George’s story, through and through, and do yourself a favour and give it a read. I promise it won’t disappoint.
